When Rudy's elderly dog passes away just before Christmas, four-month-old puppy Boo is especially devastated. Then the young pup discovers an abandoned kitten in the woods. Can Rudy convince Mum to let them keep Boo's new friend?

It's nearly Christmas, but Rudy's family don't feel like celebrating as their elderly dog has recently passed away. And no one is more upset than Boo - their four-month-old puppy who doesn't understand where her best friend has gone. Rudy suggests getting a new dog to keep Boo company, but Mum can't bear to get another pet just yet.

Then Boo discovers an abandoned kitten alone in the woods and falls in love with it. Can Rudy and her sister Clara convince their mum that the kitten would be the perfect addition to their family?
